Great value

Best prices with shipping and products! Everything came in a timely fashion.

All good so far

Th light arrived with the tank. It appears to be well made and has the functions i needed. I’m still setting up the tank so I haven’t had a chance to use the light yet.

Beautiful light but a bit flimsy of a bracket

First, this light is beautiful and works well. The inline controller let's you adjust the dim level, timer duration, and on/off status. My only complaint is the bracket is designed to be loose, both how it attaches to the metal light body and the tank. The former is so you can custom adjust it for different width tanks which is a great idea, but it doesn't lock into place so easily moves if bumped. The latter means it slides along the glass edge of the tank. And together, they both mean that, if you bump or knock it too hard, at best it gets all out of alignment and at worst it can easily fall into the tank which i discovered in the first hour after installation. I immediatley unplugged it and was able to unscrew the 2 screws on each end and it easily came apart so I could let it dry out and it works perfectl after, but this really is an easy design flaw that could be fixed. The sliding bracket adjustment should lock and, where it sets on the tank glass, it needs some sort of silicone pad to give friction, or even maybe just some sort of simple clamp. I actually took a little bit of black electrical tap and wrapped it around the bracket rods so it couldn't slide. It's not ideal, but its just too unstable without something. If it wasn't for the flimsy bracket, this would be a 5-star light.
